Most car reviewers would disagree with you (keep in mind people that have actually DRIVEN the car). It also handles great according to reviews I've seen.
The 1.5 surely has more than enough power, but it is marketed as a sporty car. The benefit of the hybrid addition (which really doesn't add much weight at all, you're talking less than 200 lbs) is a big increase in low rpm torque which gives you sportyness and regenerative braking. The car also gets pretty good mileage.
IMO its very nice. If I was looking for a two seater, this would definitely be in the running. So what if the specs don't look amazing, go drive one.
